AB - Between 2013 and 2015 the Italian Ministry of Labour and Social Policy run an experimental anti-poverty measure in 12 metropolitan areas. The measure provided an income support to households with children (mainly households with low-income and low work intensity) according to a conditional cash transfer scheme and was designed in view of the implementation of the new national measure to fight poverty. In this context, to assessing the improvement of children’s well-being the INAPP Social Inclusion Research group proposed to include a child-centered approach, adapting the MACaD questionnaire (Multidimensional Analysis of Capabilities Deprivation) to the characteristics of children aged 8 through 13 and adolescents aged 14 through 17. The questionnaire was applied to 171 children and 92 adolescents and a set of tools was designed with the aim to measure children’s and adolescents’ emotional well-being. In particular, the tools are: - a Children standard well-being index, based on the system of children’s rights; − a Children’s Emotional Well-Being scale; − an Adolescent’s Emotional Well-Being scale. This paper describe: (i) the Children Standard Well-Being index; (ii) the psychometric and factorial characteristics (through Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis) of the scales for assessing Children’s Emotional Well-Being and Adolescents’ Emotional Well-Being; (iii) the results obtained from the application of the scales; (iv) the comparative verification of the results obtained from the application of the scales, carried out by analysing the data of the International Survey of Children’s Well-Being.
